...I will have to get some Ballistol as it has never reached England....

hi andrew, it is available from one source, current UK residents* can try Ballistol UK , he works via mail order rather than on-line, so it's a bit slower (i'm waiting on a new 500ml bottle now i hoped would be here for the bank holiday). Ballistol smells nice, tho some people do not like it.

mineral oil can be scented with essential oils, tho make sure they are not acidic. Malayan/Indonesian Keris traditionally have been annointed with flower scented oils as a mark of respect and honour.

* p.s.- you can find ballistol on ebay, but it's in germany (also in german) and don't know if they'll ship over here, the link above is probably best, you can also converse with him via email & see if he has any local dealer
